Deliverables

Rationable :

One way of keeping leadership at the centre of higher education is to develop academic staff leadership
skills and motivate them to be both innovative and creative. Academic leaders need to focus on enhancing
existing knowledge stocks internally and be skilled at stimulating scholars and peers intellectually.
They should be the point of support for students’ creativity. They should learn to promote individual
initiative while promoting integration of group activities and teamwork.
